History:
(Fantastic Four: Life
Story#4 (fb) - BTS) - Zawandi met and eventually became engaged to
Franklin Richards.
(Fantastic Four: Life Story#4) - Zawandi married
Franklin Richards in an outdoor ceremony attended by Franklin's
parents, Reed Richards and Susan Storm, as well as Ben Grimm and many
others. As the ceremony came to a close, Zawandi kissed Franklin and
later, during the reception, Zawandi commented to Franklin that his
parents
were decent dancers for being old people. An embarrassed Franklin
responded by telling Zawandi not to look at them.
(Fantastic Four: Life Story#5) - Zawandi and her children greeted
Franklin as he returned from a week-long trip to New York to visit his
side of the family, remarking that she should go to New York for a week
herself so that she could get a greeting like the one her children gave
their father. As the children asked Franklin about his trip, Zawandi
informed Franklin that her brother, Wakandan King T'Challa, was there
to see him.
In 2005, Zawandi accompanied Franklin and his family to the
Runway Bar, where they had a few drinks and a few laughs before the bar
closed permanently so its owner Tony could spend the last few months
before Galactus' arrival on Earth with his grandchildren. As the time
for Galactus' arrival neared, Zawandi and her family moved to New York
to be closer to Franklin's family so they would all be together when
the world ended.
In 2009, after Franklin and
his family defeated
Galactus and prevented his destruction of Earth, Zawandi helped run
constant tests on the now-unresponsive Reed Richards, whose mind had
been
affected by the power overload in the subspace chamber during the
battle against Galactus. During one of the tests, Zawandi reported to
Franklin that there had been no change in Reed's mental faculties.
(Fantastic Four: Life Story#6 - BTS) - By 2017, Franklin and Ben
Grimm were helping pack up the belongings for Reed Richards and Sue
Storm as they prepared to move and Franklin asked Sue if she was sure
they didn't want to come live with Zawandi and himself.
Comments: Created by Mark Russell, Sean Izaakse and Francesco Manna.
Zawandi's occupation was never shown but she was very knowledgeable regarding Reed Richards' brain scans, suggesting that she had some scientific education, whether medical science or otherwise. Whether or not that was her actual occupation remains to be seen...
Zawandi refers to T'Challa as her
brother in Fantastic Four: Life Story#5. On Earth-616, T'Challa's
sister is Shuri and we see the FF: Life Story-reality counterpart to
Shuri in Fantastic Four: Life Story#6 but no familial relationship is
given for Shuri and T'Challa nor is it mentioned that Shuri is related
to Zawandi. IF this reality's Shuri is indeed T'Challa's sister much
like on Earth-616 then Shuri would also be Zawandi's younger sister.
